Circuitpython 3 Release Candidate 1 Now Available

Makers, developers and hobbyists that use Circuitpython will be pleased to know that Circuitpython 3.0.0 Release Candidate 1 is now available to download directly from the official GitHub webpage. Circuitpython 3 is the latest major revision of CircuitPython and features new support for the SAMD51 (aka M4) and preliminary support for the nRF52 BLE chipset. Circuitpython 3 also features better memory utilisation enabling applications to load more in the same amount of space.

“We believe this release is stable and relatively bug free. So, please try this before trying 2.x. If you find issues please file an issue. If no major bugs are found, then we’ll release this as 3.0.0 stable. Try the latest version of the Mu editor for creating and editing your CircuitPython programs and for easy access to the CircuitPython serial connection (the REPL). All builds are available as both UF2 and bin files here along with test builds”
